Yes it is available in India, at almost double the price :( It will be about INR 7K here, that's what I heard. So, never bothered to search for it here.. |

I checked with my sister who's currently in Singapore for a project and according to her the Raymox DCR-250 costs SD$129(around INR 5500/-), while in US it costs about $79. |

I bought it for 55pounds from the UK almost a year back. Its 60 pounds now. Its a must have for Macro shots!! |

The reason I suggest Marumi over Raynox is because Marumi is a little better than Raynox in the corners (vignetting and soft). The disadvantage is that Raynox 250 offers +8 which is not offered by anyone else. |

Yes it is Raynox DCR250! Another fly shot - Attachment 925177 I need to experiment with focus stacking. A single click provides very shallow DOF even in narrowest of apertures! This shot is f/29, ISO1600 in indirect sunlight. I like this shot! |

Clevermax, There's no EXIF, may I ask what FL were these shot on? Raynox are optimized to be used at slightly longer focal lengths I think. At shorter FLs, it vignettes quite badly. I do not have a controlled test like yours but I'll post some photos later in the night that I have made with Nikon 75-240 and marumi achromats. |

The exif is 1/2s, f/18, ISO100 @200mm Of course there is severe vignetting at lower focal lengths. But what is the use of a lower FL with this? You won't get any magnification at all. Will check an revert below what FL vignetting starts. At least there is no vignetting with my 50mm and my 70-210mm lenses. There is vignetting with my kit lens 18-55mm. Thanks!! I was looking for a free focus stacking program.. will try this. |

Because +8 is a lot and when combined with a long FL you'll get high magnification. Eventually you'll get bored and would want to zoom out, in that case, there may be vignetting. But, at around 200-300mm the DCR-250 works quite well. I do not have test photographs and I am not particularly happy with the following shots (they were hand-held), but they should give you an idea about Marumi as well. I am not sure about magnification though. The flowers are quite small. |

These are excellent shots HW! I particularly like the color combination of of the flowers and the bg! You're right, eventually you feel like using lesser magnification and compose shots like what you've shown. But anyhow I am planning to use it with my 50mm or 70-210 only so there won't be a vignetting issue. With kit lens at lower FLs, the frame really shrinks with very opaque vignetting. But lesser the FL, we have more control on DOF. |
